I've been using the CB tool for a few months, and I've configured some house rules for the campaign that a friend just started up for a group of us.

I'm curious, though, if there is any sort of guide anywhere that would allow the houserules to actually be implemented into the structure of the CB? By that I mean is there a way to markup the entries put into the House Rules area that would allow new race entries, or modifications to the attribute generation system to allow for the rules that prevail in our campaign?

I've checked the XML files I can find for the system itself, and it seems there should be 'some' means of setting up a tag system in the XML to integrate it directly. Any help would be amazingly appreciated.

i am interested in this as well but have not had time to dig through the files yet ... would love to add a few races to the CB as houserules ...

Me, too.

I home brew a lot of content, races and religions mainly. I am currently holding off buying the full CB because it looks like this is not fully supported.

I'd be in support of this too. My group relies heavily on CB, so an improved houserule system would help out immensely.

The house rules/homebrew stuff needs to be easier to use... I have almost a whole campaign guide of hand written home brew stuff for my personal campaign, I would love if I could put all that stuff into the CB and use that campaign file... (an example; dwarven bloodline traits: azer lineage)

I'm interested in this as well, but also looking forward to being able to add third party campaign settings, backgrounds, classes, races, etc.
This would be a great timesaver.

we will probably have a 3rd party campaign suite that incorporates the compendium and Character builder that does what we need... before WotC does... no offense Wizards... just think that a 3rd party will most likely steal your thunder

For the record (in case such a thing helps) - I'm also keenly interested in throwing in a few homebrewed things into the CB.

Go WoTC go!

I'm throwing my request for customization for the CB as well.

Me too. Sometime in the future I plan on coming out with a "Luminatrum Campaign Guidetm" This would allow me to put together an XML file to download that would allow people to create characters for this campaign setting.
